The first is a M35 reissue with reproduction decals added post-war.
The 2nd is a Luftshutz gladiator style helmet.

I agree on both. Interesting to see the Luftwaffe bird flying backwards on that 1st helmet. At least whoever faked the decal didn't try to "copy" the origuinal

Any idea of the value of the gladiator helmet, I assume you guys believe that to be real. Thanks again. Jen

Just my opinion, mind you - These are generally not considered as desireable as combat helmets. I would personally not pay over $150.00 for one, but they occasionally do go for a bit more based on condition and the market.I think any serious TR helmet collector should probably have at least one example in their stable.
The Luftwaffe helmet with the post-war decals would be worth more if the decals were carefully removed so as not to damage the paint.
Cheers,
-Mike

hmmm... M40 and reversed first pattern adler would've given me indigestion... Did anyone notice the interesting extra ventilation holes altered on the liner?

I did notice that...almost looks like they were added to accomodate the tabs that fit the leather neck protector of a fireman's helmet. Maybe a post war usage? The only trouble with this theory is that they seem to go around the front as well. Another mystery...
